Sen. Cornyn Votes Against Flawed Assault Weapons Ban

Statement

In a Senate Judiciary Committee markup, U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, today voted against legislation introduced by U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA, that would ban assault weapons:

"This is a flawed piece of legislation that jeopardizes the self-defense and constitutional rights of law-abiding Texans, while doing nothing to address the tragic problem of gun violence. It is unacceptable to me, and it is unacceptable to Texans.
